Trapp, who is considered as one of the most talented young German footballers, has been signed on a five-year contract that runs until 2020, and the deal is believed to be worth around €10 million.
Trapp, who will be presented by the French champions on Monday, signed as a back-up goalkeeper to the first choice Italian keeper Salvatore Sirigu and and 35-year-old French keeper Nicolas Douchez.
